Well i'm currently using a Tippmann 98 with the following: Double Trigger, Rocket Cock, Ricochet 2k, J&J, Wood Grips and plain Co2. I'm looking for a bit more unique gun and something more tournament like.

Should I get a Tactical Electronic Sniper? I'll be running Co2 on it until I can get the cash so is it worth it? Also, what are some pros & cons to the T.E.S? If you reply no, post what gun you think I should get that is within 150-250 dollars. Thanks in advance!

Read the reviews and see what you think. Also yes it will work on Co2 but I recommend getting it anti-siphoned.

If you end up getting the TES you're going to want more stuff on it, even though I own a TES and love it I'm going to say go for a different gun, maybe a fenix will suit you better. If you honestly want to run the TES stock go for it but you'll need a new bolt and probably a new barell, reg, and drop. Still one of the greatest guns I've ever owned though.

Why would you get a Fenix, it's just another blowback marker. :rolleyes:

Could you explain what anti-siphoned is? Link me if possible and provide a price if not. Also, I wouldn't mind buying a new bolt if I had to.

Becuase it's comparable to the TES and is good stock. :o

Well i've found a tank that is a/s and it's a 20 oz so will that do? Are there any other critical upgrades I need?

The TES is pretty good stock with co2 but if you go to nitro youll need a drop and reg also you might want to invest in a good hopper or barrel your prefrence

You could get an Imagine and spend the rest of the left over money and get upgrades for it and then it would perform better then both of those guns. Besides if you are getting a new marker and upgrading from a blowback marker, you shouldn't get another blowback marker, you should get a Electro Pneumatic marker like a BKO or something like an Autococker.

a reg and drop should be your next thing cause with stock if you rapid fire you'll freeze your reg and its really cold trust me

Ive found that the barrell is very hard to improve on in the tes (ive tested a fair number of the aftermarket barrels on it )unless you feal like spending 100bucks+ and get one of the barrel systems.

IMO the stock bolt is as good as any bolt out there except possibly the aka lightning. If you want to avoid scratching your body then you can go with any of the aftermarket derlin bolts but dont expect a huge improvment in performance.

Again IMO I like the drop (though i know others dont), but yes the reg has to go if you plan on running co2 . i ran it for a few games here in hawaii and it got eratic even at the 80+ temp we play in...i should say though the tank i was using wasnt antisiphon
